Great win. And what's great is that everybody on the team has been in the situation where they have one the first game, and let the next four. Hopefully, they can steal game 2 as well.

There'll be a lot of talk about the Spurs not playing their best, but consider a few things-
-No one from our bench came to play today. Kleiza and Smith were nonexistent. That can easily be another 25 points right there, even playing at the Spurs' pace. Which leads me to my next point:
-Tempo. The Spurs control it as well as anyone in the league, but that doesn't mean the Nuggets should ever stop looking to run.
-End of game execution. Why does every late game lead have to turn into a nailbiter?
-More to come tomorrow, I'm asleep on my feet right now. Well, ***, if you want to get technical.

GREAT WIN TODAY NUGGETS !!! we have to take Game 2, if we can do that then I think we will win the series. AWESOME STUFF !!

Well done!

In the latter part of the season, it was clear that your team was finally coming together. I was afraid that we might have to face each other in the first round. Fortunately, it was also clear that the Lakers were fading.

It's a very a good win but you still have a tough road ahead. The Spurs are still the Spurs. Experience and discipline are on their side. If you keep up your intensity and keep hustling you guys can make it through. Good luck!

Karl did a great job last night. That being said, it was as if the Spurs were sleepwalking at times.

I think Nene did a terrific job on Duncan, and while Timmy D will come back strong, I think we'll see Nene continue to give him fits. The TNT analysts actually said that San Antonio had NO answers on their ENTIRE ROSTER for Nene! Can't believe they gave Denver credit!

If Denver can keep forcing San Anotonio to start their offense 3-4 feet outside of the lane they'll be fine.

Oh, and Bruce Bowen is a sissy...just thought I'd let you know.

A huge weakness of the Nuggets is finding the open man off post-up double teams, and traps on the wing. I'm betting they'll see alot more of those in game 2, hopefully Karl is planning for it.

We don't want a repeat of 2003.... If we can steal Game 2, then hopefully our home crowd can get us at least one win, and if 2 then that's a lot better.

Game 2 will probably be the hardest game for us to win, but if we win game 2 Im calling right now well sweep the series and win both at home. ya'll can say its foolish or what not but if we win game 2 im calling the sweep. I just think its going to be really hard to win game 2, The spurs are gonna come out nasty.

melo4life · 04-24-2007, 08:41 PM

Yeah they will come out tough, but what we need to do is to come out hard, grab an early lead, then keep it at our tempo. I think if we can do that, then we will win Game 2, and then I agree, we will sweep them. Big upset that will be. When they take thier stars off, then we take ours off, and put our good bench players on like JR, Kleiza, Evans. I feel pretty confident in the Nuggets, less then 24 hours until Game 2 starts.

I agree that Game 2 might be the hardest to win. If they win this, then I think it validates the fact that Denver is the better team. I don't know if they'll sweep, but I definately think they'll get the series.
